Evaluation Question 3



After getting other students to watch my music video I then asked some of them to give me some feedback on what they liked, and thought I could improve. From the feedback I got, they liked the quick cuts which happened often, saying it was typical of pop videos, along with the use of the dance routine, and change of locations. Although in order to improve, they suggested that I could have used more of a variety of shots, by getting more footage when filming as some of it was repeated a lot. It was also suggested that if I was to do it again I would film in more locations- doing this would then give my shots more variety.

POSTER

In order to complete promoting our music video, we had to make a poster which would go with our digipak in advertising the single to the public. I have chosen to use the same picture from the front of my digipak, with the shot of the feet in the motion of walking. Due to not seeing the face of the walking legs, it gives an air of curiosity and makes a potential listener want to find out more, as well as representing the beat in which the singer walks to in my video, and with several legs showing the space in which she covers within her change of locations.

DIGIPAK

I have finished my digipak, for my music video's song. I wanted the digipak to reflect the urban settings in which my music video takes place, and focus on the legs which are used alot in the video to maintain the beat in the singers walking. I have stuck with the overlapping leg idea which I had in mind a while ago for the cover as I think it suits the pop genre. I have chosen the empty car park for the back as it was one of the settings we filmed at, and conveys the 'wild child' image well, a lyric repeated often in the track. The fact it is at the back and empty shows that the singer dissrupts her locations and leaves them feeling very empty.

Distribution company for my band

SonyMusic.pngBMG official logo.jpgAsteroid Galaxy Tour are owned by the music company 'BMG', which are linked with Sony Music Entertainment. Due to managing other pop artists such as, Anastacia, Blondie, MGMT and the Rizzle Kicks, I think this is an ideal distribution company for the genre of my chosen band.

DIGI PAK COVER


I took a picture of the model walking on shutter/sports mode, so it would show gradual walking.

Using the quick selection tool, I then i had to cut out only the legs and arms in these shots, to then drag and place over the original picture- giving the impression of the same person walking.
 
After using the quick selection tool to cut out the legs and place on to the original, i then had to do the same with the shadows left by the feet on the original shots in order for the walking to look more realistic.
 

 
This will be the complete image I use for the front of my digipak, and maybe promo poster:
